Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan or line with paper liners.

Crumble: In a small bowl, combine oats, sugar, cinnamon and butter; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose and whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, milk, yogurt and butter until blended. Pour over dry ingredients and sprinkle with cranberries; stir just until moistened.

Spoon into prepared muffin pan; sprinkle tops with crumble. Bake for about 25 min or until tops are firm to the touch. Let cool in pan for 5 min. Transfer to rack to cool completely.

Tips

Use a gentle hand when stirring muffins together and stir just until the dry ingredients are no longer visible to keep them tender; over mixing makes dense, rubbery muffins.

Variations:Add 1/2 tsp (2 mL) Chinese five-spice powder to crumble. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped toasted almonds with cranberries.
